 is proudly presented live at the Christenberry Planetarium. Fly with us through chasms over twice as large as the Grand Canyon, and soar over humongous mountains and towering volcanoes that tell the amazing story of Mars. Ride along with real rovers aiming to answer questions about ancient lakebeds and ice-capped poles — and explore the parameters for soon becoming a two-planet species. Born of war, built of wonder, and sooner than we think, inhabited by us. 

Doors open 30 minutes before showtime — please arrive early, as we can't guarantee admission once the show begins. 
Estimated run time: 50 minutes.
